The Tell-Tale Heart — Complete Illustrated Edition

The Tell-Tale Heart — Complete Illustrated Edition

An old man. A pale blue eye. A heart that will not stop beating.

"True!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?"

The narrator of Poe's most famous tale has no quarrel with the old man he lives with. He loves him, he says. It is only the old man's eye, pale blue and filmed like a vulture's, that he cannot bear. To prove he is perfectly sane, he tells you exactly how he planned the crime, night after night, and what happened when the police came knocking.

First published in 1843 and only a few pages long, "The Tell-Tale Heart" is a masterpiece of mounting dread that has been read, performed and imitated ever since. Complete and unabridged, with an introduction and original paintings: a short, beautiful edition for a single, unforgettable sitting.
